It was about 4am January 05, 2013. I told myself I would get up and get ready but I hit the snooze. I wake up to the sound of my phone ringing. My Buddy is outside waiting for me. I overslept. I toss on whatever I can find in the dark and run out. It’s about 5:00am as we reach Undefeated on La Brea. There are already about 5 heads plus about another 5 ghost chairs. Everyone was wearing heat. We were all family joined by a common obsession, Sneakerheads! We share stories of our favorite sneakers. For me the Chicago 1 was the one that started it all. I was waiting for this shoe to release since I was a little boy. My dream was about to become reality. This was also the day I started collecting again. I purchased a size in toddler, preschool, grade school, and men. Needless to say that they are now part of the family. My daughter has worn the kids sizes, my wife has her pair and I have mine. Now it’s my sons turn to wear them. In the future I hope that my kids kids wear them and this new tradition continues.
